    I thoroughly enjoy these equality news-roundups. Thanks for posting!

    The country must be made aware of perhaps the most despicable and reprehensible blogger ever to post on a web site (NOMs of course). His moniker is "Overcame SSA" which,perhaps, speaks volumes to his certifiable condition and certainly to the true nature of an otherwise questionable site protecting marriage. If you have the stomach, check out his comments re: Jon Voignt's defense of Brad Pitt's mother. He is the poster boy for bigotry and hate.

    Thankfully, the posts by "OvercameSSA" wre taken down several hours ago. Now if only they could
    remind "Barb" and "Daughter of Eve" what happened one afternoon at the Harper Valley PTA
